You can try to explain your intentions, but it's up to other people to judge your impact. You can't call yourself fair, loyal, or helpful. You can only strive to live by those values. Virtues aren't meant to be claimed with words. They're meant to be earned with actions.

Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month. It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.
